Lenovo is expected to announce the launch date of the Legion Y90 anytime now, but ahead of that, the gaming phone has made an appearance on Geekbench, giving a glimpse into its performance.

The phone with model number L71061 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and Geekbench reveals that it will be booting into Android 12 out of the box, most likely layered with Lenovo’s skin on top. The listing reveals 18GB of RAM out of which 16.65 is actually available (via MySmartPrice).

Benchmark scores stand at 1227 and 3780 in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively, which are only a slight upgrade over the preceding Legion 2 Pro model. Hopefully, better results will be seen once retail units begin flowing in.

The Lenovo Legion Y90 gaming phone series is expected to be launched as Lenovo Legion 3 Pro and 3 Elite in global markets and will sport a 6.9″ FHD+ AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate.

A range of gaming-specific features will be offered including RGB lights, a twin cooling fan system, ultrasonic shoulder keys, and two rear capacitive buttons. The phone will pack dual 2,800mAh batteries, totaling at 5,600mAh, with support for 68W charging.

For photography, you get a dual-camera setup comprised of 64MP and 13MP sensors. Selfies will be handled by the single 16MP sensor upfront.

Lenovo Legion Y90 gaming phone keeps its cool even with 120 FPS gaming, company official reveals

The upcoming Lenovo Legion Y90 gaming phone was teased today by Lenovo notebook product manager Lin Lin, who said that the device’s temperature stood at 38.9°C even after gaming for 20 minutes at 120 FPS.

While 38.9°C may not sound too cool of a weather to be stuck in for us humans, in terms of CPU temperatures, it’s like another warm morning in Antarctica. Moreover, some recent flagship level offerings are known to get quite hot while gaming even for shorter periods of time, with some eventually automatically reducing brightness levels as a last resort, which should hopefully not be the case with our Legion Y90 here.

After all, the Y90 even comes with an in-built fan dedicated to help tame the beast of a processor the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is. Game developers seem to be quite aware of the phone’s heat dissipation abilities too. Honor of Kings that has a global version called Arena of Valor, for example, will run on the device at an ultra-smooth 120 FPS.

It was earlier revealed that Lenovo will be following a unified naming scheme coined that sets two digit names for mobile phones, three digits for tablets, and four digits for laptops. It all seems to be a part of the company’s newfound obsession with gaming. Also joining the Y90 gaming phone, therefore, are the Lenovo Legion Y700 gaming tablet and Y9000P gaming laptop. Both of these devices are expected to be launched around CES 2022 that will kick off on January 5th, 2022.
